HAUNTED HOUSES - House Shaped ATC Swap, Due October 15,2024
This ATC SWAP is for a HOUSE SHAPE with a HALLOWEEN or HAUNTED theme.
"House Shape" can be interpreted rather loosely as long as the overall size of the "house" is ATC size
This means you do NOT have to stick to a center roof peak with straight walls. Add a chimney, a rising moon, gable lights.
Make a mushroom shaped house, or a Hobbit house with a round door.
But remember, this does mean Haunted Houses, Creepy Condominiums, Ghostly Graveyards, Spooky Skyscrapers, Scary Shopping Malls, Witches' Warrens, All HAUNTED and over-all 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch ATC size.
You can try to do real life haunted places that you have actually visited -- Salem Witch House, Lizzie Borden House, Graceland, Abe Lincoln in the White House, Alcatraz, and other prisons.
As you create your ATC HOUSES, use your imagination and be creative! You can use any combination of colors, and inhabitants. Draw or paint. If you wish, add postage stamps, rubber stamping, magazine images, scrapbook papers. You decide!
* This is a 3 for 3 or a 6 for 6 card trade. Make 3 or 6 ATCs cards and receive the same number back.
* ALL mediums and techniques are welcome. Please make sure you add some depth to your cards, whatever style you choose. Your mediums can include, but are not limited to: paper, tissue paper, crayon, acrylic, watercolor, gel pens, colored pencil, rubber stamping, ink, newspaper clippings, magazine clippings, etc. Please do not take an image, cut it out, glue it to a card, and call it done. Color the background. Add some texture. Add more than one image. Make the ATC YOUR CREATION! Please send in your best work. Something you would not be disappointed in receiving if it was sent to you.
* Please sign up by posting to this thread.
* ONLY ATCs allowed. No APCs accepted.
* All cards need to be sent each in their own plastic sleeve.
* All cards need to be standard ATC size: 2.5” x 3.5”
* All cards need to be sturdy enough to earn the name “card” (no floppy or flimsy paper). If it is created on a single sheet of paper, please back your ATC with something stiffer, or more firm, such as a cereal box.
* Just as important, check for cards that are too thick. Each card must still be capable of fitting into the standard ATC sleeve. If your ATC will not fit into an ATC sleeve, it is too bulky.
* Please put the Swap name and your Username on the back of all cards. And please write clearly on everything!
.....We can't give you itrades and/or You Rock! points if we don't know who you are.
* Please confirm there is enough postage on both the envelope you send to me, and the envelope I need to send back to you.
* If you are unsure about mailing ATCs, or just may want to pick up some good tips for shipping, here is a great link. http://atcsforall.com/forum/showthread.php?t=909
* If you are inside the U.S., please include a Self Addressed Stamped Business Size Envelope (Approximately 4 by 9 1/2 inches), with one "Forever" stamp or current First Class Postage if trading 3 cards; or one "Forever" and one additional ounce postage stamp if trading 6 cards, OR if your cards are extra heavy or extra bulky (or 2 forever stamps if that is easier).
* International participants, if you have U.S. funds, or U.S. postage, it is greatly appreciated. However, since many of you do not have access to U.S. stamps/money, I will cover your postage. Please include a self addressed envelope 4 by 9 1/2 inches (10 x 28 cm), or if you do not have the correct size envelope, please include a large mailing label with your address and I will provide the envelope.
* I apologize for being so demanding about the envelope size, but the postal rates in the US charge extra for thickness. When cards are stacked, or overlapped, in (a smaller) envelope, it almost always costs more to mail. If you send me a small envy, the cards get stacked. When I use the 4 inch by 9 1/2 inch business size envelopes, I can spread the cards over the area, making a THIN package, and only pay for basic (minimum) postage.
* Share pics if you can. Everyone enjoys seeing what others are creating.
If you do share, be sure to delete your pics before the swap is archived so that they won't count toward your gallery.
* Cards are due IN MY HANDS by October 15, 2024. Please allow sufficient lead time for cards to get to me, particularly if you are an International participant. Please try to mail your cards early!! Delivery times can take much longer than we are used to.
* Returns will be mailed promptly. Please leave Feedback for your host ONLY (me) when you receive your returns, and please take the time to leave Reputation points for your fellow players from whom you receive cards.
* A hostie card in this theme is appreciated but not at all expected!
* Thank you for considering this swap! If you have my address from previous swaps, it hasn't changed. If you are new, or if you have not been in one of my swaps for a while, please contact me (send a direct message to me) for my address when you sign up or when you are ready to mail.
* Above all, Have fun!
